"a flaw...found more heart disease in nondrinkers than in light drinkers. Some of the nondrinkers...used to drink but had quit because of illness...After correcting...they concluded that moderate drinking had no net health benefits."

Many anyway! Rosa Cao pops to mind. I think she did a PhD in neurobio before philosophy.

I really admire Frances Arnold for this retraction, and for her transparency in doing so:

Article by @drdavidmichaels looks at industrial strategies to influence public understanding of science - including use of product defense firms, front groups who pay scientists instead of the company, and shady data reanalysis

@LisaDeBruine if you remember could you share your blog post on here once it's done? I have students look at this sort of study claiming to ID sexual preference via facial features, and then responses. Am always looking for stuff they can understand

I was mostly going on the fact that previous similar studies have fallen apart under closer scrutiny. And, of course, the complete lack of underlying theoretical support for such a claim.

Hey! Look at that! My third book seems to have been published. It surveys work using game theory in biology and philosophy of biology.

There have been other papers on criminality, intelligence, sexual orientation. There have been some great response articles looking at confounds (i.e., eye make-up, glasses and facial hair explain predictions of sexual orientation, rather than face shape)
